737 Max is a flying turd that should never fly in any country on earth ever again.
-pilot
Don’t fly Boing 737 Max and save ur lives!
That's fine
I wonder if any of those passengers will get a bad flu do to this incident and die
It's a plug that fills in what would be an emergency door on higher capacity passenger configurations. From the inside it looks like a regular window and you can sit right beside it. It is held in by four bolts. How this could happen is mind-boggling. This plane was brand new.
Safety first, always! 🛬 What are your thoughts on airline safety and the measures taken in situations like these?
There was no "sheer panic"
What blew out was the plug to cover the extra hole in the left rear of the 737 Max 9 for another door. The Max 9 can be configured for long haul flights by removing some seats and installing another rear door for extra food carts to move on to the plane faster; on shorter flights you have more seats and less food to carry.
Another 737 problem AGAIN!
That poor child who’s shirt was ripped off, will be slow to fly ever again. And his mother must have been holding on to him for dear life. Must have been terrifying.
I couldn’t imagine. 😢
At this point with all the sky line mishaps next time I fly I'm wearing my parachute till I'm at my destination 😁✌️🙏
time after time Boeing keeps selling death traps in the air, the Ford Pinto of airplanes. thankful everyone lived and is safe.
Boeing state safety will now be top priority so they will be providing parachute on exit row seat…
Alaska Airlines…what a surprise, probably back at cutting corners on inspections and maintenance,…seeing how far they can get before the next crash
Some one pulled emergency door handle. That just didn't fly off. That's not ripped off. No jagged metal.
250,000 aliens are crossing our boarders every month and a door off an airplane knocking off a passengers hat is the lead story. Bias news includes news not being reported
Tragic about the Coast Guard fatalities. I keep seeing emergency exits pictured. Was it the door? If so, why not just say so?
Boeing is scary.
I hate planes
And this my friends is why keeping your seatbelt buckled AND tightened at all times is important!! You just never know!!
But the CEO makes a bunch of money
🙏 That’s some cold air getting inside the plane
A plug door? You mean to tell me they get to disguise a door and don’t have to tell me I’m booking next to one? What kind of cr.p is that? MAKE THEM DISCLOSE!!!
It appears in my opinion that safety and customers take a back seat to profits these days
Thank you Jesus for their safe return
please dont force me to see sloppy joe and ballrack every time . . .
Those people were so calm!!
No window seating for me aisle only.
Kudos.to the female pilot❤
The pilot did such a good job staying calm and she got it landed safely. Kudos to her!
171 seats … 170 full and that seat was empty. Now the boy was next to the empty seat but tell ‘em someone wasn’t watching out for this kid!
😢🙏🏻
Thank God no one got hurt! 🙏🏼🙌🏼 I hope the FAA can get to the bottom of what happened and prevent it from happening again.
E-ticket ride!
Thank God everyone was safe.
This isn't the first time a passenger commercial Jet lost part of its fuselage at altitude ! A commercial passenger Jet servicing the Hawaiian islands lost a large portion of its fuselage over its passenger cabin and not just a door at altitude ! The passenger on the Hawaii Jet were sitting in the open and one stewardess was killed !
Wow amazing! Terrifying, but just going through that and being able to talk about it is awesome
Boeing has had a pretty terrible record the past few years. you’ll never catch me on a Boeing aircraft…fly Airbus if you value your life.
Somebody cutting corners on Super Glue
Thank you Lord for keeping these people safe and giving the pilot and crew such great courage. 🙏🏼
